00:00What if Australia and New Zealand united to become one country?
00:04First off, they'd have around 32 million people, still smaller than Canada, but much bigger than either alone.
00:11The new nation would cover an enormous area, from the Outback to the Southern Alps,
00:16making it one of the most geographically diverse countries on Earth.
00:20Politically, they'd be a powerhouse in the Pacific.
00:23Instead of two voices, they'd have one unified seat in global organizations
00:27and likely more influence in the United Nations.
00:31Sports fans would see the biggest shake-up, the Wallabies and the All Blacks,
00:35combining into one rugby team, almost unfair.
00:39But there are challenges.
00:40Australia and New Zealand have different cultures, politics, and even rivalries.
00:45Merging their governments wouldn't be simple.
